You need to convert the western notation to a kifu notation. You could make your own script or use something like
github.com/vmsimone/kifu-converter

The issues with Pychess is that it uses a standard Crazyhouse-style notation that is not used in shogi at all. An online converter would convert from one of the two types of standard Western shogi notation, both of which use a different coordinate system. You would have to write your own script, or input the moves manually into lishogi.
